Seeking Forest....In Need of Joy

 

I am dreaming of blue skies and snow-covered forests today but sitting in front of my computer. I will be getting out for a hike this weekend. I am sorely in need of some fresh forest air after two very busy weeks at work. Forests bring me joy. Computers do not.

Walloped by Winter

We got another solid dose of winter weather today. We have snow coming out the wazoo! Two hours of shovelling and the sheep can now exit their barn to stand in the snowbank. Victory? Questionable.

Some Love from the Rock

 

The highlight of my Wednesday was this Tupperware of cod au gratin from my favourite Newfoundlander. Lunch never tasted so good. Two more days until the weekend!

It's Only Tuesday?!

 Is it the weekend yet? 

What do you mean, it is only Tuesday?!

Maple-infused Daydreams

It is about this time of year when I begin daydreaming of maple syrup making, when I am not busy daydreaming about planting seeds, of course. Maple coffee in the morning is the perfect reminder of why all our work done during maple syrup season is worth it. Homemade maple syrup is the gift that keeps on giving the whole year long!

Pizza Pick-Me-Up

Ian took over kid duty for swimming lessons, grocery shopping, and chauffeuring to tutoring today while I caught up on some school work that I needed to get done for the course on Organizational Leadership I am taking through the University of Toronto's Rotman Business School. School work instead of family time is not my ideal way to spend a Sunday, so I was happy to reconnect later in the day for family pizza night. Homemade Hawaiian was just the pick-me-up I needed.

Common Sense vs. Adventurous Spirit

We took the family smelt fishing for our Saturday afternoon adventure. Not one, but two kids managed to put their foot in a hole. What they lack in common sense, they make up for in adventurous spirit. That's what counts, right?
